That cop needs to be in prison for murder
The officer was cleared of charges in July 2023. Ridiculous
I’m retired Leo and I see zero justification for the shooting, depending on what the officer said. Did he say he had something in his hand? Btw: I could hit that shot easily when on the job. I regularly shot at 50 and even 100 yards. There is no way it can be done in tenths of a second though. This guy should not be an officer.
All charges were dropped, and Joseph Lamantia will soon be back on the streets as a police officer. Absolutely insane
How did the cop know this was even the man that the call was for. He could have been an innocent neighbor.
This isnt questionable its blatantly illegal , and the officer has a familiar record?! Without a doubt it was just murder. He never interacted with the subject. The subject never so much as looked at the officer. He shot DIRECTLY INTO a building, then after he surrendered, another few shots out of nowhere?! This is absolutely not justified
His hands were up and he did nothing to n the beginning to demand compliance. Millionaire family in the making. Cop will be sued and fired.
I realize cops have a tough job!! but, he only had hearsay that the guy had a gun, he had his hands up, kinda thinking this is cold blooded murder. gives cops everywhere a bad name
2nd degree murder
So this cop has killed four people?? That's a serial killer with a badge
Dude reached.
This cops mustache says he has a itchy trigger finger
imagine how many times the police got away with this before the cameras, they shouldnt have the ability to turn cameras on/off
The stash says it all.
I am a long time resident of Modesto, and this former officer is now trying to force the city of Modesto to hire him back. We have told the city to refuse to hire back. This former cop has four other kills. This is too common and it is systemic, not individuals.
The first round maybe is "OK", It can be warning shots (In a hypothetical case). The second round is a cold homicide man
This dude got murdered over suspicion. And suspicion is not a reasonably articulable crime. Same reason as a civilian walking you don't need to supply an id unless they have a reasonable explanation for why you're being detained.
HOWEVER while driving you forfeit those rights with your agreement with the dmv. An officer has every right to request proof of ability to legally drive
Not going to lie, this is probably the peak of ASPs coverings. If you dove deep there's SOOOOOOOOO many relevant incidents and yet all I get is foreign moto thieves
That cop re indexing his mags shows that this was methodically done and not a life or death situation IMO
Damn crazy to realize I've been watching this channel regularly for 4 years. It's definitely calmed me down and made me much more lethal. Been training with swat and running all sorts of drills at my buddies prop
This is america
im sorry, 5th shooting? With 4 of them being fatal?
Im all for that thin blue line but jesus christ, get this dude off of the force.
He was fired from his police job in March 2021. Then July 2023 cleared of charges. 🙁
5 officer involved shooting and 4 fatal. wtf. Is that normal???
A lot of these bullies are “ just give me a reason” kind of killers. Hiding in a uniform and badge. Sorry it’s true
I think the policeman made the right call when he called for back up when the situation had calmed down a little bit (the suspect — cop didn't know he had no weapons then — raised his hands). If he came closer and seriously injured because suspect had had a gun and shot him, then it'd be too late and no time to call for back up! Also, the victim in this case lowered his right hand down TOO FAST to his waist/pockets area and the cop, too quick on the trigger, shot him.
5th officer involved shooting? 4th fatally?
That cop is a vigilante running around assassinating people. That guy wasn't given any time to respond or comply.
THIS COP SHOULD BE IN JAIL FOR MURDER
Playing the devils advocate, but just a thought, don't flame me. If this officers 5 previous OIS were ligit, perhaps he's a little to ready to shoot just as a result of so many situations going pear shaped. Doesn't excuse the murder I just witnessed, butbitbmight explain the motive.
does anyone know what happened to this cop?
Scary so a neighbor can call in and say I am a threat and Police shoots me from 50 yards while I’m unarmed…..damn
Yes. Don't call the cops unless it's absolutely necessary. I think people don't think about this enough and they want the cops to be a referee for stupid situations and police resources are being wasted. The idea of sending psychological health professionals instead makes sense.
Leadership is key to any martial endeavor. Without leadership an army is a mob.
I can see why that guy is "anti cop"
Remember, with great mustache comes great responsibility. 🤔
Why the hell is he allowed to kill citizens how was he still a cop?
Murder
Jesus Christ!!!! Unbelievable
